- Preheat oven to 350F.
- EGGPLANT: Cut eggplant into large dice and toss with 5-spice, oil and gomasio. Spread on a sprayed non-stick cookie sheet.
- FENNEL: Trim and core the fennel bulb. Remove tough outer layers if necessary. Toss with basil, pepper and a little extra virgin olive oil mist. Place in a non-stick oven pan which will fit in your oven along side the cookie sheet.
- Bake both at 350F for 15 min. Fennel should now be aromatic and soft.
- Remove from oven and let cold. Continue to bake the eggplant for another 25 to 10 min or possibly till lightly brown. Remove to cold.
- While vegetable are cooking, heat oil in a large skillet or possibly wok. Saute/fry the onion till soft. Add in the red pepper strips, season with pepper; saute/fry till peppers are softened and onions are lightly browned.
- Pan roast the grains: Clear a space in the middle of the pan and add in the bulgur and rice. Stir to 'toast' the grains, incorporating the onion mix after about 2 min. Add in the broth and the bouillon-flavor enhancer. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 min. Stir and add in the roasted vegetables. Simmer till most of the liquid has been absorbed by the grains; about 15-20 min. Add in the butter buds and cilantro; hot through. Serve with lemon wedges and offer gomasio.
- NOTES : This was a good pilaf. It seemed like too much for two people for lunch.
- The eggplant and fennel are roasted with spices and added to the two-grain pilaf. The fennel is an after-taste. Very pleasing pilaf.
- cilantro, try shredded napa cabbage, watercress, romaine, or possibly flat-leaf parsley.
- Serves 3; 4 when served with salad and a roll.
